2nd Sept 1892.
Report on Ordinance No. 16 of 1902.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to release certain premises situate at Victoria in
the Colony of Hongkong from a Settlement dated the 31st day of
March 1884 and made between Meyer Elias Sassoon of the one part
and Frederick David Sassoon, Edward alias Sassoon and the said
Meyer Elias Sassoon of the other part,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
Mr. JACOB SASSOON desires to make a comprehensive settlement of certain leasehold lands in Hongkong, viz., Section B of Inland Lot No. 577, Section A of Inland Lot No. 589 and Section A of the Addition to Inland Lot No. 589—upon which the New Jewish Synagogue is erected. If he can do so he will greatly benefit the Jewish Community of Hongkong by spending a considerable sum of money in the erection of the Building and endowing it with a repair fund. A technical difficulty exists however to the proposed Settlement by the fact that the property is caught by the trusts of a Settlement of 1884, being property purchased with the money arising from the sale of land subject to the 1884 Settlement. This Ordinance releases the property in question from the 1884 Settlement and so gets rid of the difficulty in question.
